6/8/2008 Daniel Emery Taylor joins cast of Hell-ephone Richmond, KY - June 10, 2008: ZP International Film Productions announced today the addition of Daniel Emery Taylor to the cast of their feature film, Hell-ephone, slated for a fall 2008 release. Daniel Emery Taylor is best known to comic/sci-fi fans as ‘Darryl Hallenbeck’ in the cult classic monsterfest known as The Return Of Swamp Thing. Taylor went on to gain modest regional fame for his role.
He followed that up with spots on television's In The Heat Of The Night and the critically acclaimed I'll Fly Away. He was also a regular on local programming and even did some modeling and print work. More recently, he can be seen in the Tom Green comedy "Road Trip."
A Birmingham native, Taylor still lives in Central Alabama with his wife and four lovely stepchildren. Always a fan favorite, he has also become a regular on the Comic Book/ Horror/ Sci-Fi Festival circuit. In Hell-ephone Taylor has been cast as Doctor Roberts, a psychology professor who is a professional colleague of Professor Goldman (a.k.a. The Circuit Maker), the mastermind behind the Hell-ephone prank. Roberts is convinced that Goldman is up to something, and believes that his influence is detrimental to young minds. "I'm really excited," said Taylor. "Hell-ephone represents the best of what independent film has to offer: creativity and ingenuity. The fans will get to see something new, something fresh. This isn't Hollywood leftovers. It's a whole new dish." Hell-ephone is the seventh feature film to come from the Richmond. KY based film studio. George Bonilla is directing the project, which is currently filming. Bonilla is the award-winning director of The Edison Death Machine. “Daniel Emery Taylor is a wonderful addition to our cast,” said George Bonilla, “we’ve met him at a few shows, and he is not only a great actor, but a heck of a nice guy. He’s very good with the fans, and I can’t wait to get him on the set.” Daniel Emery Taylor maintains a website at www.danielemerytaylor.com
6/8/2008 Alex Del Monacco joins cast of Hell-ephone
Richmond, KY - June 8, 2008: ZP International Film Productions announced today the addition of the lovely and talented Alex Del Monacco to the cast of their feature film, Hell-ephone, slated for a fall 2008 release. In Hell-ephone. Del Monacco has been cast as Karen Thomas, a psychologist hired as a profiler by the F.B.I, to help solve the Sea Monster serial killer case. Hell-ephone is the seventh feature film to come from the Richmond, KY based film studio. George Bonilla is directing the project, which is currently filming. Bonilla is the award-winning director of The Edison Death Machine.
This will be Alex Del Monacco's first role in a horror film, although George Bonilla is quick to mention that "Classifying Hell-ephone as strictly a 'horror' film is selling it a bit short. It's more of a police drama, and a mystery, neatly packaged inside a horror film."
"Alex Del Monacco is a true professional, and it was an honor to have her on our set," said Bonilla. "She endured some very uncomfortable special effects make-up, and still gave her all to the performance. Wait until you see the film, you'll be amazed." Hell-ephone is scheduled to wrap in late Summer, and be released in Fall 2008.
